Boris Johnson was aware of a formal complaint against Chris Pincher when the MP was a Foreign Office minister before his appointment to the Tory whips’ office, it has been reported.Downing Street confirmed on Monday that Mr Johnson knew of concerns about Mr Pincher’s conduct when he made him deputy chief whip in February.The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said while he knew of claims that were “either resolved or did not progress to a formal complaint”, it was not considered appropriate to block the appointment based on “unsubstantiated allegations”.“There was no formal complaint at that time,” he said.There are robust procedures in place for any members of staff to raise allegations of misconduct. It is long-standing policy not to comment on any matters involving individual casesREAD MOREHowever the BBC later reported that Mr Johnson was made aware of a formal complaint about Mr Pincher’s “inappropriate behaviour” while the MP was a minister in the Foreign Office from 2019-20.The broadcaster said then-foreign secretary Dominic Raab was also aware of this complaint, which triggered a disciplinary process overseen by the Cabinet Office that confirmed misconduct by Mr Pincher.A Government spokesperson said: “There are robust procedures in place for any members of staff to raise allegations of misconduct. It is long-standing policy not to comment on any matters involving individual cases.”Mr Pincher has been approached for comment.Downing Street – and a succession of ministers – had previously stated that Mr Johnson had not been aware of any “specific allegations” against Mr Pincher.The former deputy chief whip plunged the Government into a new crisis when he dramatically quit last week over allegations he groped two men at a Conservative private members’ club.He had previously resigned from the whips’ office in 2017 over claims he made unwanted advances to a young activist, but was later reinstated after being cleared by an internal Conservative Party investigation.Over the weekend, however, details emerged in the press of further claims about alleged sexual advances to men – including two fellow Conservative MPs – over a period of years.Mr Pincher has denied the allegations to the newspapers which carried them.However, Mr Johnson’s spokesman said the Prime Minister had been aware of the “speculation” there had been about Mr Pincher over a number of years when he made him deputy chief whip.
The London Mayor told the BBC that "on some occasions I may disagree" with national Labour Party policy. Admitting that he didn't speak for the Labour Party as a whole, Mr Khan said that the "least worst option" from his point of view was "being members of the single markeIt comes as Sir Keir made a speech attacking the Government's record on Brexit which vowed that the UK would "not go back into the EU " under a Labour Government.He added that there was a need to "move on arguments of the past" and try to "make Brexit work".Sir Keir blasted the Government on Brexit claiming that the UK was "stuck" and there was a need to get the "economy growing again".He also vowed that Labour would also ensure that the UK stayed out of the customs union and free movement rules.Speaking to the BBC, Sir Keir said he wanted to move on from all the "divisions" that had caused so much "anguish".He said: "We want to go forward, not backwards. And therefore this is not about rejoining the EU."It's very clear that what we can't do is reopen all those arguments, all those divisions that caused so much anguish over past years."Sir Keir argued that the economy stagnating under the Conservative Government and its Brexit deal was "holding us back".READ MORE: 'Huge problems!' Blackford cornered on NI-style border with IndyRef2It is also a significant u-turn for Sir Keir who was a vocal advocate for a second EU referendum as Jeremy Corbyn's shadow Brexit secretary.However, with official forecasts claiming that Brexit is continuing to cause economic damage for Britain the Labour leader could be under pressure from the more pro-EU sections of his party.Shadow cabinet minister Anna McMorrin recently told a private meeting that she hoped that the UK would be able to rejoin the single market under a Labour Government.However, in his speech at the pro-EU think tank the Centre for European Reform, Sir Keir said such a move would "cause more division".He said: "There are some who say, 'We don't need to make Brexit work. We need to reverse it'"I couldn't disagree more, because you cannot move forward or grow the country or deliver change or win back the trust of those who have lost faith in politics if you're constantly focused on the arguments of the past."
